Does Gardening Make Children Smarter?
According to new research released by the Royal Horticultural Society, children who garden are more engaged with their learning and do better at school.
At the Secret Seed Society we believe gardens are full of stories, mystery, adventure, and surprises, keeping young childrens’ minds active, playful and curious.
On the back of this research the Financial Times suggests: “If you want to help your children make the grade this summer, scrap the extra maths-with-Japanese coaching and get them to do the gardening!”
Little Jessica says: “Every night we go to our allotments at the bottom of our garden to see if there are caterpillars on the cabbages and then we tell our dad when he gets home.”
